Power glitch during HHb recording, disc not recognized
This last Sunday I was recording a classical concert to a Masterlink
and an HHb830 (as back-up). About 10 minutes before the end of the first half, the power went off for 1/2 a second. Power cycled on all the gear. The Masterlink lost everything because I was incrementing the tracks on the fly. The CD-R in the HHB shows data was written on the disc but the disc is not recognized. The error message just shows "check disc". I am assuming that some header/TOC info was not written to the CD-R and that it is not readable by the burner. My friend tried to finalize the disc on a couple other HHb units, but no luck. Is there a utility that will extract this "raw" data from the disc so that I can salvage the first half? Do you suppose the guys at HHb could pull anything off the disc? Thanks for any help. -Steve |

I recently resurrected another concert off a Masterlink where power was cycled before finalizing the recording. It is straight PCM data. Take the hard drive out and connect it to a PC. Don't let the PC operating system try to format the disk. Use a disk editor such as Acronis Disk Director to search for the concert data. Copy the data via the disk editor to a formatted hard drive. Using a program such as Adobe Audition, which can read raw PCM, edit the data for the actual concert and save to a formatted file. Voila, concert is restored. bobs Bob Smith BS Studios we organize chaos http://www.bsstudios.com |

Also I have heard that some older audio players like the Phillips CDR 560, you can put in a good CD with a "full" TOC, press stop, then carefully pry the door open and swap CDs without the player "knowing" that you swapped CDs, then you can play your damaged CD using the TOC that the player read fom the previous disc. Of course the tracks #s etc will be wrong but you may be able to recover the audio. Mark |
